The Poetry of Rest: Sculpting Silence with Lounge Chairs



The curation of Lounge Chairs and Footrests is more than a functional necessity; it is a defining moment in interior design. In the narrative of a home, these pieces represent the chapter dedicated to the self—a solitary sanctuary where design meets the intimate needs of the body.

Unlike the sofa, which is communal, the combination of Lounge Chairs and Footrests creates a personal island of comfort, offering a unique opportunity to introduce sculptural forms and distinct narratives into an interior. At Sentta, our collection is designed to turn these moments of solitude into an experience of “Design with Soul.”

Here is a curated look at how we redefine Lounge Chairs and Footrests through our most defining silhouettes.


The Architectural Duo: The Jackob Collection

The Jackob Lounge Chair is a study in mid-century geometry, designed to command attention while offering seclusion. Its defining feature is the high “wingback” silhouette, which acts as a visual and acoustic shield, creating a private cocoon for the user. The chair appears to float upon its solid wood base, balancing the visual weight of the upholstered upper body with the lightness of the wooden structure, resulting in a piece that feels both substantial and agile.

To complete the ergonomic experience, the Jackob Footrest acts as the necessary conclusion to the chair’s lines. It mirrors the angularity and floating base of the armchair, ensuring visual continuity while providing essential support. Far from being a mere accessory, the footrest transforms the seating experience, allowing the body to fully recline and distributing weight evenly for a moment of absolute weightlessness.


The Dialogue of Forms: Goa Chair & Hugs Pouf

When selecting Lounge Chairs and Footrests for a contemporary minimalist space, the dialogue between pieces is key. The Goa Lounge Chair, designed by Francesc Rifé, conveys a sense of grounded lightness. Its beauty lies in the exposure of the skeleton; the solid ash wood frame is not hidden but celebrated, framing the upholstered seat with architectural precision. Its low profile speaks to a “quiet luxury” aesthetic, where the quality of the joinery takes center stage.

In a perfect juxtaposition, the Hugs Pouf introduces a playful yet sophisticated geometry to the pairing. Designed by André Teoman, this piece is defined by the way the rigid wooden element gently “hugs” the soft, upholstered cylinder. When placed next to the linear Goa, the circular nature of the Hugs Pouf softens the overall composition. It serves as an ideal alternative to traditional footrests, adding a layer of organic versatility that creates a dynamic layout.


Heritage Reimagined: Pipo Lounge Chair

Moving into the realm of sculptural expression, the Pipo Lounge Chair stands as a tribute to Portuguese heritage, specifically the wine culture of the Douro region. Its name and shape draw inspiration from traditional wooden barrels (“pipas”). The design is monolithic and enveloping, crafted from solid wood that has been masterfully carved to create a seamless, curved surface. It is a piece that demands to be touched, showcasing the raw beauty of timber in a form that feels almost like a living organism wrapping around the user.


The Grand Gesture: Scala Lounge Chair

Finally, for interiors that require a touch of theatricality and fashion, the Scala Lounge Chair offers architectural grandeur. Its design is characterized by its generous volumes and the distinct vertical detailing on the backrest, reminiscent of the pleats in haute couture or the columns of classical architecture. The Scala is a statement piece that anchors a room, offering a deep, plush comfort that invites long periods of relaxation, making it the ideal centerpiece for a luxury living room or a sophisticated hotel lobby.


Conclusion

Whether through the sharp lines of the Jackob, the minimalist dialogue of the Goa, or the organic curves of the Pipo, Sentta’s collection offers a diverse vocabulary of comfort.

These Lounge Chairs and Footrests are not merely functional objects; they are the sculptures that inhabit our quietest moments, proving that the most luxurious thing one can own is a beautiful place to rest.
